Game

Game

The pressure the ball
The fans the noise
The grace the amazement 
It is just a game In the head but not the heart

Naked

To relieve
the pressure
on my brain
I took my cloak
from the shadow
for the moon
had cast me
in an indifferent
light.

Premium Member The pressure of 25 words

Facing a blank page
Feeling the stress
Of writing a response
To your latest verse
Have to keep it positive
What can I say?

Warm front then cold front

Old numbers,
punch ‘em in.
Hang it up.

let it ring 
in your head.

No pressure,
broken phone 
missing keys.

Pulse of a Cat's Heart

Rises when trapping a rat
Not once has it suffered
From high blood pressure
The rat it cashes for meals
It enjoys in calm peace

Under Pressure

Pressure,
Boxing me into this two foot,
By two foot-
Space,
The thrill of the future,
The chill of the past,
None shall last.

hold the world tight in your arms; 
Midnight fantasies 
Nine a.m realities; 
Stars are made out of pressure.

A Moving Limerick

The story of Gary and Sue
Is one of multiple moves
It's six at last count
The pressure does mount
To ditch everything but the booze.

Premium Member Society and Me

The day begins with a lie
It is mine
There is no shame
I have been taught to lie
By a society 
That hates truth
And I rely on it....

Premium Member Pressure

And behold, I'm shocked.

Lying on the leather couch.

Make a snide remark.

Making nightly pray.

Whisper in your ear, "Be Mine".

Friendship,

Secure in the mind
Though may be short lived in time.
Because of peer pressure, they may flush closeness.

But goes top.

When trials plod,

Groaning to find the settings
To high, four minutes, and on
Pressure cooker despairing -

Take my pulse
And blood pressure
And let it sink deep
Into my unconscious
And make it a part of me
So I too do regular

Drivers
                      Roll over.
                Screws, flip over.
   With pressure, twists and turns
                         Safer.

Civil Unrest

a chastushka

Civil noncompliance like whiskey
ages slow with pressure until...
Laws that render conscience risky
should be labeled a reflux still.

Choices

How easy it is 
For a beautiful thing to be destroyed
For a soul to collapse
Under pressure
For a smile to go elsewhere
While emotions scatter

Anxiety 
Blood pressure soaring
What are they going to say?
Are they going to poke and prick me again?
There's no where to hide in this room!

Take Take Take

Taking a Crap
Is More Important
Than Taking Your Blood Pressure.

Now I'm Just
Taking a Piss.
